(9,426 posts)I grew up in England during WW11. A few years ago, I went to visit London with my adult children. There was a WW11 exhibition there, with an air raid shelter like the one we and all our neighbors had in the back yard. You could go in, listen to the sirens blaring, then the planes roaring overhead, hear the bombs whistling down. It all came back to me all these years later, and I started to cry, and had to leave. My aunt and uncle had three sons. After their houses were demolished (TWICE) and they lost everything, the boys were evacuated to Wales. My aunt died at 46 of cancer. I think the stress took her. They were in a community air raid shelter, came out to NOTHING left. You are correct, the people we are bombing now will have scars for many, many years possible forever.
